Overview

Virtual Keypad provides a simple web-based user interface for NetLinx control
systems which can be used in a wide range of control environments. You can
program Virtual Keypad and upload the settings to a NetLinx Master using
AMX's NetLinx Studio application. Virtual Keypad works in an identical fashion to
a physical keypad.
There are two versions of Virtual Keypad:
NDT-VKP: This version is designed to look like an AMX Mio Modero
12-button Keypad (FIG. 1):
